Not just a horror film

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2005)

I just watch a little bit of this movie for the first time in a while, and both before and now I always look at it as a movie other than a general horror film, as this movie is a thriller all about human emotion. The infection is known as "rage", which is a human emotion, and everyone in the film is looking for what to do next while dealing with emotions of sadness and fear. Having said this, it is very well done as a thriller on it's own as I would find myself pretty freaked out by everything going on. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful, as it is shot with digital cameras which according to the filmmaker were used to bring out an "urban" feel to the film, and it works very well. The movie is made in such a real way, and I believe there were hardly any special effects used, if any at all. The music of the film always supplies additional emotions to add to the situation, and makes you wonder if there is any hope for the characters. This film is absolutely amazing as it supplies thrills and a very intriguing story, and I suggest it to anyone. I have heard they may make a sequel, and I can only hope that if they do, they don't stray from the themes of the current movie.
